4 Claims, (CI. 6321) This invention relates to a device which is ornamental and useful as a holder for perfume or the like.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a device which will be of ornamental configuration so that it may be worn as costume jewelry in pendant-like form.

Another object of the invention is to provide a container, the stopper of which may be locked in closed position when the container is in one position of its adjustment.

Another object of the invention is to provide an arrangement so that the container may be held in a plane at an angle to an embracing portion of the ornament so that the container may be opened for dispensing its contents.

Another object of the invention is to provide resilient means between the two relatively movable members so that the parts may be of simple construction and yet held in the positions which it is desired they should assume.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating the perfumer as an ornament suspended from a chain;

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Figure 1 with the chain omitted;

Figure 3 is a sectional view similar to Figure 1 but showing the two members disposed in alternate position;

Figure 4 is a fragmental sectional view through the pivotal mounting of the members;

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the elongated or bottle member and its mounting portion alone.

In proceeding with this invention, we have provided a container or bottle-like member which is of elongated form and which has a removable stopper at one end. The other end is pivoted in the hollow ends of a loop or ring which is so constructed that the parts may be held in different positions relative to each other so that the plane of the ring and the plane of the axis of the bottle or container may coincide or be at different angles to each other.

With reference to the drawings, designates generally the first member or bottle or container, while 11 designates the second member or loop which is designed to embrace the first member and is formed as a hollow tubular structure.

The first member 10 comprises a container having side Walls 11 and a bottom wall 12 with a hollow interior 13 which is adapted to contain liquid, small pills or the like. A cap or cover 14 has threaded engagement as at 15 with the neck 16 of this container which is an extension of the side walls with some reduction at its outer surface. This cap has a projection as at 17 extending into the hollow 13 of the container for its use as an applicator for perfume which may be contained in the bottle. A mounting portion 20 extends from the bottom 12 of 2,751,764 Patented June 26, 1956 the container and is of generally flat form with hexagonal projections 21 and 22 extending from opposite sides thereof, which hexagonal projections are slightly tapered in frusto-pyramidal form.

The ring or loop 11 is of hexagonal tubular stock having, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a hollow hexagonal portion 23 which is continuous except at the terminal ends 24 and 25, at which ends the stock is split lengthwise so as to leave the same resiliently expandable. The projections 21 and 22 fit into the openings in the ends 24 and 25 and are so aligned that the flats of the hexagonal projections will fit with the flats of the hexagonal interior 23 of the ring. The arrangement is such that in one position the member 10 will be in the same plane as the plane of the loop or ring member as appears in Figure 1, in which position the cap just clears the ring diametrically opposite the pivotal location of the member 10 with the ring so that the cap cannot be unscrewed from the container when in this position.

Pressure on the member or container 10, however, will permit of its being swung about its pivotal connection between the ends of the ring to a position such as shown in Figure 3, which will be from its position shown in Figure 2 where it will again be maintained by the flats of the projection aligning with the flats of the hexagonal opening 23. In this position the cap 14 may be unscrewed to get at the contents of the container. It will also be apparent that this container may take other positions about its pivotal relation with reference to the loop or second member 11 in arcuate increments of 60 and there be maintained.

A ring 26 may be soldered on to the member 11 at a point diametrically opposite the pivot of the bottle or first member 10, and a chain 27 may be attached thereto for suspending the device as may be desired.

We claim:

1. A combined ornament and perfume container comprising an elongated container open at one end and having a stem at the other end thereof extending axially thereof, a removable closure for said container, said stem having bearings at opposite sides thereof, a split resilient tubular ring, said bearing being pivotally received within the ends of said ring and resiliently held therein, said container being of a length relative to said ring whereby said container may be swung to engage said closure at a location diametrically opposite to the location of the pivot.

2. A combined ornament according to claim 1 wherein said closure frictionally engages said ring when said container is at a position wholly within the confines of said ring.

3. A combined ornament according to claim 1 wherein said ring is out of round in cross section and said bearings are similarly out of round.

4. A combined ornament according to claim 1 wherein said ring is hexagonal in cross section and said bearings are similarly shaped.
